Everton Transfer Thread - Summer 2020

His height offends me.

Small mans excel in this position bro. "He's got that low centre of gravity."

 

[windymiller]

Yeh same with Haller. There's just an annoying amount of hindsight used in arguments and it's silly for me. You can't bash Brands for not signing a player back before you'd even seen him play in my eyes.

Of course you can. If a highly rated player, and Sarr was being discussed by loads of hacks at the time, becomes available in a position that a club is in the market for then it is not unreasonable to expect a dof to be aware of that situation even if the person who has that expectation has never seen the player themselves. One aspect of the full time job of a dof is to evaluate players as opposed to punters on a forum who have jobs, families, hobbies etc.. As a consequence, if a player who was available but signed for another team plays better than the player signed by the team an individual supports it is not unreasonable for that supporter to question the decisions of the individual responsible for recruitment, even in hindsight. The idea that an everyday fan should have the same level of knowledge of players from around the world as a well paid dof is the unfair position to take. A lack of foreknowledge in a fan is not only reasonable it is expected, questioning a lack of foreknowledge in a dof is entirely reasonable after the fact. That's not to say a hit rate of 100% can possibly be expected but the more a dof is payed, the more they are feted, the higher the expectations. Brands is payed very well and his appointment has been trumpeted loudly by the club. Auditing his performance in the context of his contemporaries is essential.

Windymiller speaking sense as usual.

Didn’t read a word of that

My son

You cant expect Brands to sign every single good player in the world mate.

In the summer we werent even looking for a player like Sarr.

Too many long words for you?

I don't and I said that in my post.

If you’re not arsed to use paragraphs I’m not arsed to read a wall of text you could probably have condensed into a sentence.

 

[OneTrueLegend]

I'm not sure we do ya know. If we play 442 we don't necessarily want cutting-in scorey widers, we want all-rounders who can cross, dribble, and play nice little through balls. The two strikers will score most of our golazos.

I agree, plus left footed players are not that common, it's one of the reasons there are so many right footed left wingers. Only 45% of left handed people are left footed.

It's interesting how confrontational you are whilst at the same time trumpeting your own ignorance. It's a pairing you don't often see outside of the Brexit party.

Current Affairs thread for your chatter.

Also, looking over the post, I wouldn’t accuse someone of struggling with long words when you repeatedly spell ‘paid’ wrong.

 

[mikel_88]

Player targets will have changed because of the change in manager formation richarlson now being played as a cf wouldnt surprise me if we went for two wingers

 

[mikel_88]

If we could get rid of bolasie maybe fraiser from bournemouth on a free on small wages might be worth it as will have resell value if ot didnt work out
